Haglofs and its background
Boasting a 100-year tradition, Hoglofs is an outdoor brand that started on the banks of a lake in the idyllic Dalarna region, northwest of Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. We have been sending high-quality backpacks and clothing with excellent performance to the world, and have gained strong support from mountain practitioners.
Behind this achievement is the high level of technology that we have refined over our long history, and the fact that we reflect the feedback of specialists such as adventurers and outdoor athletes who are sometimes active in harsh nature in our products. It's a style of making. The craftsmanship of the founder, Victor Hagloff, is still alive in all Hagloffs products.
High-end snow wear "Vassi" created with professional riders
In the 2020-21 season, the wear "Vassi" was developed for activities on hard backcountry fields in the midwinter .
"Vassi" is a masterpiece that won the ISPO Outdoor Award in 2011. It was once removed from the lineup, but this time it has been revived with a major update. Employing the advanced GORE-TEX PRO, it combines ease of movement, breathability, durability and a highly functional design. A full-fledged product developed with top riders who know the mountain well and pursue sliding to the limit. It is the birth of his high-end snow wear for uncompromising skiers and snowboarders.
Vassi
Taiyo Nakanishi, a Haglofs team rider and big mountain skier, talks about “Vassi”.
“The moderately loose silhouette allows you to perform activities and skis in the mountains without stress. I am particularly concerned about the strength of the outer fabric. But it hasn't ripped, the first jacket I've worn all season and still be intact.
The diagonal ventilation that does not interfere with the backpack opens wide, so you can easily adjust your body temperature when hiking. The inner pocket is also easily accessible, making it easy to put in and take out GPS and sunglasses without taking off the jacket even when it snows. I also like the coloring, which is typical of the Scandinavian brand Hoglofs.”

-DAY DREAM-
-Imagine a line when snow piles up on a slope that you can see while walking in the mountains. I think of the winter when I'm out of breath on the snowy slopes while rowing my bike. There is always ski in my head and there are snowy mountains. -
